Joan Rivers Storms Out of CNN Interview, Gets Criticized By Anchor Frederika Whitfield for Being Mean on Fashion Police

Joan Rivers can dish it out—but she can't always take it. The comedian-author stormed off set during a pre-taped CNN interview that aired on Saturday, July 5. The reason? Anchor Fredricka Whitfield described Rivers' critiques on her E! Fashion Police show to be "very mean."

"It's not mean, it's not mean, it's not mean. I tell the truth," Rivers, 81, interrupted via satellite. "I'm sure I say the same things that all the viewers say to their friends sitting next to them on the couch."
